Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

Saw palmetto extract may help with hair loss and acne but needs more research on safety and long-term effects.

Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.

A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.

The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.

The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.

Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.

Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.

5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.

Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.

Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.

Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.

Finasteride treats hair loss but may cause low libido, erectile issues, and depression.

Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.

Minoxidil promotes hair growth in women with early-stage alopecia.

Oophorectomy lowers testosterone and estrogen levels in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with postmenopausal women still producing significant testosterone.

Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.

The document concludes that scientists created various steroids with different properties, including a more effective semi-synthetic vitamin D.

Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.

Allopregnanolone can reduce gut inflammation and normalize neurotransmitter levels after finasteride withdrawal.

The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.

Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.

The compounds tested could potentially treat hair loss and alopecia.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.

Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.

The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.

Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.

Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
